Lisa Winn, LPC

Lisa Winn is a licensed professional counselor with 22 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She aims to make therapy approachable and useful for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Lisa uses straightforward talking and evidence-based techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and focused on small steps that add up. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes two decades of clinical work in Missouri. That time exposed her to many life issues, from caregiving strain and chronic illness to attachment concerns and adoption-related questions. She draws on that variety when tailoring plans to each person’s needs.

Lisa blends methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused work. She also uses client-centered skills to create an accepting space and dialectical behavior tools for emotion regulation when needed. The mix is chosen to fit the individual rather than follow a single method.

People who want clear, practical steps and a calm, steady guide may find her approach helpful. She supports international clients and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and situations.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce worry and low mood. CBT sessions often include simple skills and experiments that can be practiced between appointments.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings without getting pulled into them and identify personal values to guide action. That approach is useful when someone wants to balance tough emotions with meaningful steps forward.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and more interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a good fit for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer written exchanges or want more frequent, brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and travel.
